Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 153 The Shield: Consort Zhao ( )
Jiang Shuning felt that there was no point in continuing to entangle with Consort Jiang; she was more concerned about how to win back Chu Tianling's heart.
If she really gave Liang Qiuli an opportunity, she would regret it to the core.
After Jiang Shuning left, Consort Jiang looked at Consort Yang, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Consort Yang, why did you side with that bitch Jiang Shuning just now? You owe me an explanation!"
Yang Cairen trembled at Consort Jiang's words and shrank back.
But how could she explain it? Was she supposed to say it was to curry favor with the Emperor?
Having experienced all this, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
"Guards, bring Consort Yang to me. I cannot let this traitor off lightly."
……
On Liang Qiuli's side, Chu Tianling held her close until they walked out of the Imperial Garden without letting go.
This made her somewhat unhappy.
"Li'er, I am so grateful to you just now, otherwise I would have been in a real dilemma."
Chu Tianling praised the person in his arms as they walked, seemingly unaware of her displeasure.
"Your Majesty, this is all I should do."
Liang Qiuli responded softly and even pushed Chu Tianling, trying to leave his embrace.
Chu Tianling frowned, seemingly surprised by her resistance.
"What's wrong with Li'er? Could it be..."
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I just saw Your Majesty taking my arm as you left, and I'm afraid my sister is unhappy."
"I was thinking, why don't you go and explain things to my sister, so she doesn't misunderstand? After all, the Emperor's favorite is still my sister."
Liang Qiuli broke free from Chu Tianling's embrace and naturally didn't want to go back.
She lowered her eyes, her tone tinged with caution and sincerity.
"No need, actually, Pear, you don't need to be so careful."
Chu Tianling didn't expect Liang Qiuli to still care about him so much, and even still think about his relationship with Jiang Shuning!
At this moment, besides feeling pity, he also began to doubt whether Liang Qiuli loved him.
Otherwise, why would she always resist his advances and constantly worry about him comforting Jiang Shuning, afraid of upsetting her in the slightest?
Shouldn't we be considering his current feelings the most?
Chu Tianling made no attempt to hide his emotions; his displeasure was evident. His furrowed brows and slightly downturned lips revealed his current bad mood.
Liang Qiuli naturally noticed Chu Tianling's change. She gently bit her lower lip, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashing in her eyes.
"If Your Majesty still isn't satisfied, I...I can go myself..."
"Liang Qiuli, you have no heart! Do you even have me in your heart?!"
Chu Tianling was surprised that Liang Qiuli, who was usually able to sense his intentions, was so oblivious this time and did not understand what he really cared about.
And they keep mentioning other people here!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me... I do love Your Majesty, but..."
Liang Qiuli immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Very well! Then so be it. I will go to Ningxi Palace tonight."
Chu Tianling felt that Liang Qiuli did not understand his intentions, so he angrily flung his sleeves, turned around and left, his tone filled with an undeniable determination.
Liang Qiuli watched Chu Tianling's disappearing figure and revealed a triumphant smile, but it vanished in an instant. She then returned to Yong'an Palace looking utterly dejected.
However, once I entered the room and confirmed that there were no outsiders, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xi Zhu, prepare water; I want to take a bath."
Liang Qiuli knew that Chu Tianling would be coming to her place soon after he went to Ningxi Palace, so she wanted to relax first.
However, he could come at any time, so she needs to continue making preparations.
……
Ningxi Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been here for a while now. Please go in quickly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuning couldn't suppress her joy. It seemed that in Chu Tianling's heart, she was still the most important. So what if he left with Liang Qiuli?
He eventually returned to her side.
She tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and before the palace maid could say anything more, she lifted her skirt and quickened her pace toward the main hall of Ningxi Palace, each step light and graceful.
However, once inside the main hall, Chu Tianling exuded an unpleasant aura, which she noticed.
Is he still angry with her?
Jiang Shuning could never have guessed that Chu Tianling was currently sulking because he didn't care about Liang Qiuli or whether she loved him.
"Brother Tianling, are you still angry with Ning'er?"
Everything Ning'er did was because she cared too much about Brother Tianling.
Besides the two of them, there was no one else in the main hall. Jiang Shuning then affectionately changed the way she addressed them, trying to use their past warmth to resolve everything.
Chu Tianling's mind was filled with thoughts of Liang Qiuli. Hearing Jiang Shuning's words, the gloom between his brows did not dissipate; instead, it furrowed even more.
Jiang Shuning was puzzled. What was wrong with Chu Tianling?
Even after she apologized, Chu Tianling still wouldn't forgive her. Could it be that someone whispered something in his ear?
With that thought, Liang Qiuli came to mind.
"Brother Tianling, did Liang Qiuli say something bad about me that made you so cold to me? You know..."
Upon hearing the name Liang Qiuli, Chu Tianling seemed to have a switch flipped, immediately interrupting Jiang Shuning before she could finish speaking.
"you shut up!"
Chu Tianling's voice was stern and cold like never before, and his eyes were like ice in winter, making people shudder.
“Li’er always thinks of you, yet you’re here doubting her?”
Even if I'm on your side today, don't you think your actions these past few days have been wrong?
Jiang Shuning was stunned into place by Chu Tianling's sudden outburst.
Why is Chu Tianling suddenly so protective of Liang Qiuli, even going so far as to get so angry with himself for her sake?
Could it be... could it be that Chu Tianling has fallen for Liang Qiuli?
Jiang Shuning thought about it more and more and it seemed possible, after all, Liang Qiuli had such a vixen-like face.
She felt a panic she had never felt before. What should she do if Chu Tianling really fell in love with someone else?
“Brother Tianling, I know I was wrong. I did act impulsively these past few days, but that's because I have you in my heart.”
Jiang Shuning didn't know how to explain, so she could only tell Chu Tianling again and again that she had feelings for him.
Chu Tianling's expression did not improve at all after hearing this; on the contrary, it became even colder.
Seeing Jiang Shuning begging for his forgiveness, he was certain that she truly cared for him and was willing to fight against others for his sake.
But what about Liang Qiuli?
She kept trying to persuade him, saying she didn't want Jiang Shuning to misunderstand, wondering if he still had feelings for her.
Chu Tianling's thoughts were completely elsewhere, not on Jiang Shuning.
Regardless of Jiang Shuning's wishes, Chu Tianling stood up and walked outside. He wanted to ask Liang Qiuli again if she really had no heart!
Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
"Brother Tianling, don't go. I really know I was wrong. I'll change anything you say I'm right. I just beg you not to leave. I..."
Jiang Shuning's voice was choked with sobs. She hurriedly took a few steps forward, trying to stop Chu Tianling, who had already walked a few steps away. But just as her outstretched hand was about to touch his sleeve, he ruthlessly avoided it.
Even when Jiang Shuning fell to the ground, Chu Tianling didn't turn around.
Chu Tianling did not leave Ningxi Palace, but went directly to Yong'an Palace through the bamboo forest connecting the two palaces.
Upon entering Liang Qiuli's bedroom.
He saw Liang Qiuli sitting by the window, drinking alone, one cup after another, as if she wanted to pour all her sorrows into the endless liquid.
Chu Tianling felt a slight pang in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and gently grasped Liang Qiuli's wrist as she held the wine glass.
"Li'er, are you also unhappy that I went to other people's places, which is why you're here drinking alone in sadness?"
I knew it; you still have me in your heart.
Liang Qiuli's wine glass trembled slightly, and a few drops of wine spilled out. She hadn't expected that Chu Tianling would have imagined so much in just one hour.
Men are really shameless; they love this feeling of being neither close nor distant.
In Chu Tianling's mind, Liang Qiuli's actions were like a shy little woman whose secrets had been exposed, who didn't want to admit it but couldn't hide it.
His heart softened completely, and he began to reflect on his past mistakes, which made Li'er feel insecure.
So her tone became gentler.
"Li'er, I did use you as a shield for Jiang Shuning in the past, and my affection for you was not genuine. I failed to give you enough security, and that was my fault."
"Am I dreaming? Your Majesty is... I was ignorant and just made Your Majesty angry. Can Your Majesty forgive me?"
"And I hope the Emperor won't be angry when he hears this..."
Liang Qiuli seemed drunk, her gaze towards Chu Tianling was somewhat unfocused, and her voice was broken as she continued speaking.
"I...I am actually very jealous of Consort Yu. Every time I advise Your Majesty to go to Consort Yu's place, my heart feels like it has been stabbed and is bleeding again."
As she spoke, she boldly took Chu Tianling's hand and pressed it against her heart. The warm touch transmitted through the fabric made Chu Tianling's heart tremble.
Although he was quite satisfied with Liang Qiuli's confession, he was even more satisfied with her body. After all, he hadn't been to the harem for many days since that time, and his heart couldn't help but flutter at this moment.
These sweet nothings can be said on the bed just as easily.
He tried to lower his head to kiss Liang Qiuli, but Liang Qiuli gently pushed him away, deftly dodging him.
This made Chu Tianling pause, clearly displeased.
She said she liked him, but she rejected his advances.
Just as Chu Tianling was filled with doubt, Liang Qiuli's drunken voice rang out again.
"Your Majesty, please let me finish speaking first, otherwise... otherwise this dream will end soon."
Chu Tianling was shocked when he heard this. Did Liang Qiuli mean that, apart from the time he favored her, she had also dreamed of the two of them being intimate?
Judging from Liang Qiuli's appearance, she was truly drunk, so what she said was probably the truth.
He sighed softly, and stopped being so impatient. He sat down next to Liang Qiuli, looked at her somewhat bewildered face, and spoke gently.
"Okay, Pear, you can continue. We'll continue after you've finished."
Liang Qiuli smiled contentedly, like a child who had just eaten their favorite candy.
"I know that Your Majesty likes Consort Yu. I don't ask for more. If Your Majesty could treat me with half the kindness you show to Consort Yu, I would be content."
Chu Tianling felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected that Liang Qiuli would be so considerate and content even in his dream, only asking for half the goodness.
"From now on, I will treat you well, not just half, but with all my heart."
"really?"
Liang Qiuli seemed unable to comprehend that the person in her dream could respond to her and make such a promise; her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Since it's your own dream, of course it's okay."
Then she spoke softly, her murmur barely audible unless Chu Tianling was nearby.
After speaking, Liang Qiuli's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was filled with shyness and sweetness.
"Your Majesty will always be the only one in my heart. As long as Your Majesty is willing, I will stay with you until Your Majesty no longer needs me."
"it is good."
Chu Tianling responded softly, his eyes gradually becoming unclear, until he picked up Liang Qiuli after speaking.
Even though there was nothing in his arms, he still felt a strange weight, as if Liang Qiuli was really nestled in his arms.
Chu Tianling strode towards the bed. If someone had followed him, they would have seen him grab a pillow from the bed and start fiddling with it, muttering something under his breath...
As Chu Tianling made this move, Liang Qiuli's eyes regained their clarity, and she no longer looked drunk at all.
It's obvious that everything that just happened was an act by Liang Qiuli in front of Chu Tianling.
The purpose was twofold: first, to make the system's hallucinogenic pills take effect; and second, to make Chu Tianling completely open his heart and fall in love with him.
Liang Qiuli secretly plotted in her heart, carefully planning every step, all to win Chu Tianling's heart.
It looks like she's about to win.
Some things should be moved forward.
As Liang Qiuli was thinking this, another person quietly appeared beside her.
"Pear."
"Chu Xuanming, you're here. I have something to tell you."
Liang Qiuli naturally knew who the person was. She tilted her head slightly, a smile on her lips, her eyes captivatingly alluring.
Liang Qiuli decided to fulfill her promise to Chu Xuanming and tell him why the late emperor had passed away.
"You said."
Chu Xuanming casually sat down next to Liang Qiuli. He had some guesses about what Liang Qiuli was talking about, so his eyes showed both anticipation and a hint of nervousness.
"According to the information I received, it was Chu Tianling who, in collusion with Eunuch Sun, secretly drugged the late emperor. Even if the late emperor was injured because he didn't protect you that time, he wouldn't live much longer."
And you don't need to feel sorry for Chu Tianling, because this throne might even be something Chu Tianling could take back through his own means.
Liang Qiuli explained the matter clearly in just a few words.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuanming's eyes flashed with shock, followed by overwhelming hatred.
He didn't care about the throne, but the late emperor, his elder brother, was the one who had protected him since childhood. He never expected... never expected that he would be killed by Chu Tianling, that heartless bastard!
Chu Xuanming clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He was strongly restraining himself from rushing in and killing Chu Tianling right now.
Although he wasn't afraid, Liang Qiuli was still around, and if Chu Tianling died, it might ruin her plans.
"Killing Chu Tianling isn't the right thing to do right now, but I can help you make Chu Tianling distrust that Eunuch Sun."
Once he's been demoted and removed from Zichen Palace, I believe you'll be able to use your own people to deal with him.
